Follow Me To Where I Live - Poet: Hashimyussufamao by Hashimyussufamao(m): 4:28pm On May 23, 2018 |
Poetry: Follow me to where I live. Poet: Hashim Yussuf Amao www.hashimyousuph..com Follow me to where I live. Follow me to a pathetic place on earth, Follow me to a place so exposed to plights, Follow me to a nation that will make you shed tears, Follow me to my country Nigeria. Follow me to where I was born and bred, How do you wish we journey, by road or air? If by road, be ready to dance without beats, If by air... Well no galloping up there. I hope you will cope with the situation of my country, When I take you there, won't you weep for my country? I pray you cope and get along with my country, Like its citizens who have already been adapted to their destined country. A nation with around 198million residents, Being led by wicked and corrupt leaders cum presidents, A nation where people personally pick those who inflicts on them, Follow me to my dear country Nigeria. A country blessed with mineral resources, Yet, its citizens suffers insidiously, A nation where from social amenities, many lack. Follow me to my dear country Nigeria. What a funny yet sardonic country I live, A country where psychopaths and maniacs lead, Diverting the country's wealth to personal pockets, Yet they get hailed by poverty stricken heads. In the country I live; We pass days without electricity, We're encourage to learn despite no job opportunities, We have no access to good health care when we're being sick. Can you still cope along with my country's atmosphere? Are you sure you can bear with us here? Have I also told you, 'for you to get there here, You have to know someone up there'. The leaders in my country are redundant predators, Turning the citizens to their prey, Even while they should long for our betterment. When will my country start setting the pace? A chameleon they say will ever remain a chameleon, No matter the colour it adopts now or later. But with belief, my country will change and rise aeon, The 9ja area will change, be it now, be it later. By the next time I will invite you; Prayers, strivings and love would have make my nation great! My dear country would have been awesome again!! I so believe it would have landed at the shore of grace!!! God bless Nigeria. ✍: Ibn_Hashim +2348143905271 ©: 2018 2 Likes
